Chair Duvall noted that the Board has been requested to table
the following three items:

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board table the Madrid Subdivision
(#94-SU0439) until February 27, 1995, the Royal Vista Subdivision
(#94-SU0504) until January 17, 1995, and the Trapper's Point 2nd
Filing (#93-SU0381) until December 12, 1994.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

Chair Duvall stated that the Sun Valley Mobile Home Park (#94-MZ0452)
has been removed from today's agenda, as requested by the applicant.

1. THOMAS JUNKYARD VIOLATION (#94-ZV0430): NW 1/4, 33-10-68,

14450 NORTH COUNTY ROAD 9 (11-14-94).

This alleged violation is for storing inoperable/unlicensed vehicles
in the O-Open Zoning District. Mr. Pedas provided the property
description and reviewed the major concerns and issues; the property
owner was not present for today's hearing. Staff Findings include:
1) The subject property is zoned O-Open District; 2) The O-Open
District does not permit vehicle storage not accessory to a permitted
use, or vehicle salvage operations; 3) Outside storage of vehicles
is inconsistent with the "rural" character of the neighborhood;
4) Continued use of the property inconsistent with the provisions
of the zoning regulations may affect property values in the area.
The Staff Recommendation is to find that a violation exists,
require compliance within 60 days, and authorize legal action
if the deadline is not met. John Luciano, adjacent property
owner, addressed the Board and stated that allowing the property
owner 60 days is too lenient as this has been an on-going problem
for at least 5 years and he has been warned to clean up the site,
but has chosen to do nothing. Discussion followed.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Hotchkiss moved that the Board adopt the Staff Findings
and Staff Recommendation and find that a violation exists, require
compliance within 60 days, and authorize legal action if the deadline
is not met.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

2. GARDELS MINOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (#94-EX0563):

NE 1/4, 19-05-68, SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD 70 (EAST
FIRST

STREET), 1/2 MILE WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 9E; 22.82 ACRES;

2 LOTS; FA-FARMING ZONING (11-14-94).

This is a request for a Minor Residential Development to divide
22.82 acres into two lots of 20.5 acres and 2.29 acres for single
family dwellings. Mr. Legg reminded the Board that this item
was heard previously on October 24, 1994 at which time the Board
tabled the item until comments were received from the City of
Loveland. Mr. Legg reviewed the City of Loveland's comments in
which they stated they do not have a problem with the proposed
development, but do agree with staff that the wetlands need to
be analyzed. Mr. Legg stated that staff is not changing their
recommendation for denial; however, if the Board approves the
request, the following list of conditions for approval were recommended
by staff: 1) A wetlands assessment should be completed by a qualified
wetlands/wildlife biologist and the location of such areas be
delineated as "non-buildable sites" on the Final Plat;
2) As requested by the Health Department, a registered engineer
would need to certify that the existing system size and ET bed
would meet all current standards and accommodate the building
size; if this could not be done, an engineered septic system would
be required for Lot 1; 3) The applicant meet the City of Loveland
Fire Protection Bureau requirements or approved alternatives;
4) The Final Plat should include all the required items as specified
on the Final Plat Checklist; this would include a survey of the
complete parcel and proposed lots; 5) The applicant meet all requirements
as specified by the Engineering Department. This would include
the dedication of right-of-way as determined by the department.
Comments on road improvement fees should be noted on the Plat;
additional issues, as addressed during CTR, would also need to
be satisfied; 6) Park fees for Lot 1 be noted on the Final Plat;
7) The dedication of a 15-foot utility easement adjacent to the
30 foot right-of-way along East First Street or County Road 20
as requested by the Public Service Company of Colorado; 8) The
applicant would need to remove the existing building on Lot 1
before a (structural) building permit would be issued; 9) The
applicant must sign an annexation agreement consenting to annex
to the City of Loveland when eligible for annexation.

Mark Corbridge, representing the applicant, informed the Board
that Ms. Gardels' intention is to remove the existing structure
and replace it with a new one and she has attempted to make a
good faith effort to improve the property and is willing to do
almost anything that is required to improve the property, except
extending the sewer 700 feet which would be cost prohibitive.
Dale Osborn, spokesman for Ms. Gardels, stated that the proposal
is a very simple project, Ms. Gardels is just replacing one structure
with another structure. Chair Duvall stated that although the
applicant is replacing an existing structure with another, it
has not been lived in for over 20 years and probably should not
be there and two lots will be created in the UGA; therefore, she
cannot support the request.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the Gardels Minor
Residential Development (#94-EX0563) with the conditions as outlined.

Motion carried 2 - 1; Chair Duvall dissenting.

3. DEPPERSCHMIDT MINOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT (#94-EX0566):

NE 1/4, 26-05-69, WEST SIDE OF SOUTH GARFIELD (COUNTY ROAD
15)

1/2 MILE SOUTH OF STATE HIGHWAY 402; 6.66 ACRES; 2 LOTS;

FA-FARMING ZONING (11-14-94).

This is a request for a Minor Residential Development to divide
6.66 acres into two lots of .74 acres and 5.9 acres for single
family dwellings; one dwelling exists on the 5.9 acre lot. Mr.
Legg reminded the Board that this item was also tabled during
a meeting on October 24, 1994 to allow time to receive comments
from the City of Loveland; those comments have been received and
they recommend conditional approval if the applicant will enter
into an agreement consenting to annex into the City of Loveland
at their request. Mr. Legg noted that originally the Larimer
County Planning Staff recommended denial primarily because of
the lack of access to the rear of the property; however, after
receiving the comments from the City of Loveland and their recommendation
of conditional approval, the County Staff recommends approval
with the following conditions: 1) The Engineering Department requires
a 50-foot wide right-of-way dedication. In addition, a 20-foot
wide paved road with a 2 feet of shoulder (all weather) on each
side and a bulb would need to be completed from the road intersection
to the new lot; 2) The new lot would be required to be on both
public water and sewer; 3) The applicant meet the City of Loveland
Fire Protection Bureau requirements or approved alternatives;
4) The Final Plat should include all the required items as specified
on the Final Plat checklist; 5) Park fees for Lot 1 be noted on
the Final Plat; 6) A small area on the west end of the lot should
be designated as wetlands as determined by the Army Corps of Engineers;
7) The applicant must sign an annexation agreement consenting
to annex to the City of Loveland when eligible for annexation.

Mr. Legg stated that if this proposal is approved by the Board,
there will be a six-month time limit for complying with the conditions.
Rod Depperschmidt, applicant, stated that he is building a house
on the second lot for his in-laws and has no intentions to subdivide.
Ms. Haag reviewed the map of the site and noted that currently
there is access onto the lot that is being created. Mr. Legg
stated that they are creating a large parcel and the concern is
for the future when new owners might wish to further divide the
lot. Ms. Haag stated that if the owners in the future want to
divide the property, they will have to provide access to the back
of the lot; in the meantime, the two lots they are creating have
access. Chair Duvall stated that she feels this request meets
the original intention of exemptions, which is to allow families
to live next to each other.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the Depperschmidt
Minor Residential Development (#94-EX0566), with the conditions
as outlined.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

The meeting recessed at 10:00 a.m.

FINANCE PUBLIC HEARING

(#156)

The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 1:30 p.m. for
a public hearing regarding single family mortgage revenue bonds.
Chair Duvall presided; Commissioners Disney and Hotchkiss were
present. Also present were Bob Grewell, Director of Finance,
and Diane Martell, Interim Director Human Development Department.
Recording Clerk, S. Graves.

Mr. Grewell informed the Board that the purpose of today's public
hearing is to provide an opportunity to solicit input from the
public regarding the assigning of Larimer County's private activity
bond allocation of $1,424,600 to Boulder County, which will allow
them to issue single family mortgage revenue bonds to finance
mortgage loans for qualified low and middle income purchasers
of single family residences in Larimer County. At the conclusion
of the hearing, the Board will be requested to approve, and the
Chair sign, three documents relating to the assignment of Single
Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Series 1994.

Lou Stitzel and Betty Maloney addressed the Board and requested
information concerning how these bonds will be accessed, the
particular guidelines, time limit, interest rate, etc. Mr. Grewell
stated he will meet with them after today's meeting and make available
to them a packet of information which will answer all their questions
in detail.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Hotchkiss moved that the Board approve a Certificate,
Resolution, and a Delegation Agreement authorizing the transfer
of Larimer County's share of Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds,
Series 1994 to Boulder County, and authorize the Chair to sign
the three documents.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

ABATEMENT HEARING FOR SPORTS EXCHANGE

(#156 @ 900)

The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 3:00 p.m. to consider
a petition for abatement of taxes for Sports Exchange. Chair
Duvall presided; Commissioners Disney and Hotchkiss were present.
Also present was Bonnie Swartz, Senior Appraiser Personal Property.
Recording Clerk, S. Graves.

Ms. Swartz reviewed the history of the file on Sports Exchange,
noting that the original value was established using information
filed by the previous owner in 1991; in May of 1992 Mr. White
assumed the lease and changed the name of the business; however,
the Assessor's Office was not notified of this change until 1993.
Ms. Swartz stated that a declaration schedule for 1992 was not
filed by Mr. White; subsequently an audit was conducted and the
equipment reported on the 1991 declaration schedule was confirmed
and omitted equipment was added and the 1993 value was established.
Ms. Swartz stated that a notice of that value was sent to Mr.
White and no protest was registered and no declaration schedule
was filed in 1993. Pursuant to Statute, the Assessor's value
shall not be rendered invalid because of failure to receive a
declaration schedule; therefore, the Assessor's Office is recommending
denial of this petition for an abatement of taxes.

Anthony White, petitioner, stated he assumed the lease and purchased
some of the personal property in May of 1992. Mr. White acknowledged
that an audit was conducted on the personal property and he assumed
that since an audit was performed he did not need to file a declaration
schedule. When Mr. White received notice of the taxes due in
1993, the amount seemed high and so he came to the Assessor's
Office to ask questions; his questions were answered and he paid
the taxes and, at that time, he submitted his personal property
list for 1994. Mr. White stated that later he received a letter
showing a differential of $10,000 from 1993 to 1994; he checked
into this and discovered there were items on the list which he
never owned and on which he paid taxes in 1993; therefore, he
is requesting an abatement of taxes in the amount of $335.64.
Much discussion followed.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Hotchkiss moved that the Board allow a partial abatement
(one half of the amount requested) of $167.82 to Mr. Anthony White
of Sports Exchange at 124 E. 4th, Loveland, CO.

1. Discussion on Primary Crusher Purchase: During the Public
Works Meeting on October 18, 1994, Mr. Heiden requested approval
from the Board to purchase primary crusher equipment; at that
time, he outlined the cost of renting this equipment versus purchasing
it. Before approving this capital expenditure, the Board requested
that a cost benefit analysis be completed to determine if it is
to the county's benefit to make this investment. Today, the
cost analysis for the primary crusher was submitted to the Board
showing that the entire purchase price would be recovered through
savings in rental costs during the third year of ownership, the
net cost of the crusher would be recovered from savings in rental
costs during the second year of ownership, and the net annual
savings from owning the equipment will be $97,700. Mr. Heiden
noted that labor and maintenance costs will remain the same each
year, as the county did the maintenance on the rental equipment.
Mr. Smith stated that funds for this expenditure will be derived
from funds budgeted for next year for rental costs and the balance
from the 1994 fund balance. Chair Duvall asked about roto-milled
asphalt and if it would be more cost effective than magnesium
chloride; Mr. Heiden responded that it is an alternative, but
there is very little available. Much discussion followed.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the expenditure
of up to $240,000 for the purchase of primary crusher equipment
for the Road and Bridge Department, source of this funding will
be from the 1994 Road and Bridge fund balance and from a decrease
in the 1995 budget for rental equipment.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

2. Update on Condition of CR 27 (Buckhorn Road): Mr. Heiden
provided an update for the Board on the condition of the Buckhorn
Road from the Jacobson Pit to within one mile of the Stove Prairie
School, approximately ten miles. Mr. Heiden acknowledged that
there are problems on the road and he has reviewed all the things
which may have caused these problems; such as, the introduction
of magnesium chloride, time of the season, grade of the road,
how the roadway cross section was built, location, topography,
etc. After doing the analysis, he concluded that a combination
of things caused the problem and adding magnesium chloride this
late in the season was probably a mistake as it is retaining water
and the road has not had time to cure. Mr. Heiden stated that
gravel could be applied to the road, but it would cost $60,000
for the ten miles; he would like to wait for the road to cure
and noted there won't be a problem now until spring because the
ground is frozen.

Chair Duvall noted that there is a meeting scheduled at the Stove
Prairie School at 2 p.m. this Saturday, November 19, 1994 with
the residents in the area to discuss possible solutions to the
slippery and unsafe road conditions and the people up there are
expecting action right now from the county. Chair Duvall asked
Mr. Heiden what he is going to tell these people on Saturday;
he responded that he will listen to what the people have to say
and he will tell them whatever the Board directs him to say.
Mr. Heiden stated that he is certain that time will solve the
problem, but if the Board wants an immediate solution, something
can be done in the interim. Commissioner Disney said that the
reasonable solution is to do the bad spots now. Mr. Smith cautioned
that if additional money is spent on this road, some other road
designated for improvements will not be improved because of limited
funds. Chair Duvall stated that when the county creates a safety
problem, they need to solve it. After further discussion, it
was decided that Mr. Heiden should put 3/4 inch concrete aggregate
on Fletcher Hill and the dangerous "S" curve to give
grid to the surface as a temporary solution. CONSENSUS OF THE
BOARD was to direct Mr. Heiden to gravel these bad spots before
the meeting on Saturday so the people can see what we are going
to do and if it is going to work. Chair Duvall noted that she
will be sending a letter to John Benson and Richard Schmidt informing
them of the Board's temporary solution to alleviate the dangerous
road conditions on the Buckhorn.

3. Park Permit Fee Increase: Mr. MacFarlane stated that when
the Parks Master Plan was written, it included a recommendation
that park fees be raised more often to keep up with inflation;
he noted that the fees were not changed during the 1993 and 1994
seasons. Mr. MacFarlane requested Board approval to raise the
annual permits to $35 and the weekday daily permits to $5, as
recommended by the Parks Board; he noted that the majority of
the people using the parks will not be affected by the increase.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve the park permit
fee increase, as requested by the Larimer County Parks Board and
Mr. MacFarlane.

1. COUNTY ENTERPRISE ZONE ADMINISTRATION FEE: Mr. Wymisner stated
that he recently received a request to consider capping the fee
the county collects for single Enterprise Zone contributions over
$10,000. Mr. Wymisner stated that he could make this decision
administratively, but he wanted to bring it to the Board for a
decision. Mr. Wymisner recommended that the Board approve
the cap as it might encourage people to make larger contributions.
Chair Duvall asked if we need a minimum as well as a maximum;
Mr. Wymisner said that he is considering this possibility. They
need to determine what it takes to process a contribution; Commissioner
Disney would like to see a cost analysis. CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD
was to support the request to cap the fee at $300 or 3% up to
a maximum of a $10,000 contribution.

Mr. Wymisner submitted a draft of a letter he has written to Evan
Metcalf, Colorado Department of Local Affairs Enterprise Zone
Coordinator, and requested the Board's consent and approval of
same as it reiterates a request from the Board and other elected
officials their desire to have a meeting with Mr. Metcalf and
Mr. Kaltenberger to discuss enterprise zones. After reading the
letter, Commissioner Disney suggested that a paragraph be added
also supporting the agriculture industry in Larimer County.

Mr. Wymisner noted that the Recognition Awards Luncheon will be
held on December 13, 1994 at 11:30 a.m. at the Lincoln Center
and he extended a special invitation to Commissioner Hotchkiss
to attend as he will be receiving an award for his support and
helpfulness to Employment and Training Services during his tenure
as Commissioner.

At this time, County Attorney George Hass joined the meeting
for Legal Matters.

2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF DEED OF TRUST: Mr. Hass requested
Board approval and the Chair's signature on a Quit-Claim Deed
for property at the corner of Terry Lake Road and Country Club
Road immediately south of the lake; this property is going to
be used by a developer of an adjacent property for a detention
pond site.

M O T I O N

Commissioner Hotchkiss moved that the Board approve a Resolution
for Conveyance and a Quit-Claim Deed for a tract of land in the
N 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 36, Township 8 North, Range 69
West of the 6th P.M., City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer,
State of Colorado.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

to about the county's ability to give tax credits for open space.

3. RESOLUTIONS DECLARING ELECTION RESULTS OF (A) POST SALE TAX
AND (B) LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY TAX: Mr. Lancaster submitted
two resolutions in which the Clerk and Recorder has certified
the election results for the two issues 1A (POST 2001) and 1C
(Law Enforcement Authority).

M O T I O N

Commissioner Disney moved that the Board approve two resolutions

the Board to respond to that request by asking them if they would
be willing to make a commitment with their half of Block 31.
The Board asked Commissioner Hotchkiss, Mr. Lancaster and Mr.
Anderson to draft a letter to the City of Fort Collins and make
